Ford Rescue X Concept
The Ford Rescue X Concept is a study of a futuristic search and rescue vehicle designed for rough terrains that features a dedicated medical module and Computer Aided Surgery equipment. It was designed by German product design graduate Robert Engelmann.
The Ford Rescue X is a vehicle specifically designed for search and rescue operations on rough terrains with the main goal of saving time during medical emergencies.
The car has an original layout, with an open structure that integrates two seats for the driver and another operator, and a dedicated closed medical module, which is connected to the chassis by means of a mechanical balancing system.
This contributes to the safety of the injured person and allows a specialist to remotely operate the integrated medical equipment in order to do an emergency surgery anywhere.
The rotating wheelarches can be turned into special breaks for extreme conditions such as on the snow or icy terrains.
A backpack with first aid tools is integrated in the seat and can be quickly released.
The integrated medical equipment also includes a computer tomograph and a CAS system (Computer Aided Surgery).
The electric powertrain has four motors mounted on the suspensions.
The medical module floats above the main structure and protects the passenger like an egg. A display window shows the passenger’s health conditions.
The project was created at Ford of Europe design studio by Robert Engelmann for his product design diploma at HBK Saar, Germany.
